10er in 2 see an ace band worth it
jst feel like a spa get there and den turned away

RandomIrl

No bands playing when i went it was miserable!!

well your not going to know unless you try.. at the end of the day the worse they can say is...'not tonight mate'...not exactly soul destroying..
try going in kinda 3 group where two are of age.. not a big group tho as bouncers get suspicious and also if the band arent that well known and there isnt much of a crowd they MAY be a bit more likely to turn a blind eye!

Oxjam 2009 is being launched in style July 29th in Whelans of Wexford St. with a double headliner from Dublin bands Royseven and Hoarsebox. Support on the night comes from Dublin-based singer/songwriter Remy. All proceeds raised will go towards Oxfam Ireland's work in combating climate change. Admission will be €10 before half eight an €15 after. Doors at 7:30.

if its on that early you might not need ID and it doesnt actually say that ID is required!! so i say you might be ok!

Alison McGardle first contacted Oxfam Ireland in July to say she had just booked The Ambassador, Dublin - whose capacity is 1000 - to say that she was organising an‘all ages’ gig for Oxjam with about 10 bands playing.

so maybe all the events are all ages?

I'm 20 and look about 18 and was never even ID'd going in there last time...which was also the first.

Agree with first reply, avoid!

The statue scared the bejaysus out of me, too.

Whelans is usually grand,not that busy there at that time either so if you're with a mate or two you should be alright,just act normal when ur goin by the bouncers.

Worse they can do is say no!

Hi OP!

This is speaking from personal experience from when I was around your age..

I don't want to encourage anyone to the break the law or anything, but hypothetically speaking, if someone really wanted to go to a gig there, and they got in there before the bouncers arrived on the door, they could easily stay there all night and watch the band of their choice / chat up a statue. :pac: Just don't try buy a drink, that got my scrawny pre-puberty looking face kicked out of a fair few places lol.

And don't go outside or they mightn't let you back in.. This is all hypothetical, and assuming you were inclined to try break the law, that is. :cool:
